Seen the light: Hip hop pioneer returns with new banger
Legendary Zimbabwean rap pioneer Shingirayi Sabeta yesterday made an explosive return on the music scene with the online launch of his new single, Ndamutswa.
Formerly known as Mau Mau, Shingirayi teamed up with the popular website, African Hip Hop blog and used the platform as a launchpad for the new track.
A pioneer on the Zimbabwe Rap landscape, Shingirayi is famed for his mid-90’s hits Blackness with the late Afro-Pop star Prince Tendai, his debut self-entitled single Mau Mau and the classic 2002 debut album, M’fecane.
Ndamutswa has a raw and bubbly Southern-esque beat fused with Sungura and Rock guitar riffs, courtesy of producer Xander. The track is also an introduction to promising rap femcee, Alvina.
Shingirayi says he strongly believes in using music as a form of the Christian ministry, and believes that, “Only a radical, bold Christianity will lead today’s hip-hop generation toward God.”
Though the track is downloadble for free on Soundcloud (find embed code there for your website) , fans can also support Shingirayi by buying it online on CDbaby.
